68GMCCustom · 07-19-2010, 04:18 PM

looks like its missing a belt...and a starter?

Puglia10 · 07-19-2010, 06:08 PM

What year/model starters would work? Do I need one for an 01 6.0 or would any later model chevy work, like for a 4.8 or 5.3 etc, what should I look for?

68GMCCustom · 07-19-2010, 06:20 PM

from what I've seen they are all the same number...with possible exception to the LS7/LS9 variants. # I used was 10465385.

Puglia10 · 07-19-2010, 07:36 PM

Okay thanks, I was told to buy brand new instead of used to be safe? Think that's a good idea or would I be okay getting used? How much is a new one?

Puglia10 · 07-28-2010, 04:12 PM

this is what i should buy? good price too, should i grab this one right now?> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1990-...s#ht_500wt_877

68GMCCustom · 07-28-2010, 05:53 PM

I wound up buying mine at Rock Auto. Its an AC Delco, but it shows to be rebuilt. I wanted "new"...but couldn't find one at the time.

Puglia10 · 08-02-2010, 12:54 PM

does any year 4l80e bolt up to my 01 lq4? can it be from a van or anything? what should i be looking for for it to come with, etc? thanks

Puglia10 · 08-04-2010, 12:04 PM

bump, and what needs to be done to the trans crossmember? i had to bring the rest of the truck home last night, running out of rooom so i gotta get moving putting this thing together! pics coming soon!

68GMCCustom · 08-04-2010, 01:14 PM

the crossmember just needs to be slid back or up for it to match up.

on the 4L80...I remember something different about the early LQ4's ...but with an '01 should bolt up?

Puglia10 · 08-04-2010, 04:41 PM

Well, its been almost a month but I should be getting the frame back from the welder this weekend or shortly after, then start making some real progress! my bushings are ordered, and i bought a 4l80e out of an 06 2500hd for 400 bucks! cant wait to get started on this thing finally!

STOCKISH · 10-21-2010, 12:51 PM

Sweet! Looking forward to more pics!

Puglia10 · 10-21-2010, 12:57 PM

Thanks bud! It's a little overwhelming trying to figure out how to put everything back together(I didn't take it apart) plus doing the 6.0 swap, but I think I'll be able to figure it out with the help of this site, it's been awesome so far! (Plus everyone keeps saying I'll never be able to do it, so I want to prove them wong!) Sweet build by the way, I've been following yours and menace's closely! Just awesome! Hopefully someday I'll be there too.

Puglia10 · 10-21-2010, 05:24 PM

So I'll need to make a decision on coils pretty soon, looking for opinions. Would you just use the originals and cut them or buy new ones? On a budget but want to do it right, so if I need them I'll get them. I just won't know how much lower I want the front to have a SLIGHT rake after a flip kit and 3in spindles, can't have my oil pan dragging but I do prefer the front about an inch lower than the front with these trucks. Maybe a 1in coil drop for a total of 4?

mooseknuckles · 10-24-2010, 10:59 AM

cut one coil off the springs, with the spindles that should give you what your looking for.

Puglia10 · 10-24-2010, 06:13 PM

isnt one coil two inches?

mooseknuckles · 10-24-2010, 10:20 PM

I wanted the same look on mine, and I thought of doing just a half a coil at a time, but I wasn't taking it apart again and I wanted it low anyways so I cut a whole coil off. With the spindles it was around a 4-5" drop, and with the flip in the back it was 5-6". And now it has bags in the front and as it sits it has about 7" drop, and the back has a c-notch and I moved the spring hangers up on the frame so the rear has about 9" of drop. Soon I will be bagging the rear end as well.
